I'm trying to assign two variables and combine 3 strings to create a message but it keeps asking me to declare msg var

let firstName = prompt("First Name"); let lastName = prompt("Last Name"); let role = 'developer'; let msg = ?

app.js 
let firstName = prompt("First Name");
let lastName = prompt("Last Name");
let role = 'developer';
let msg = firstName + lastName + ": " + role

console.log(msg);

The task is to assign your first and last names to the variables firstName and lastName, not prompting anything. Also, you need to add a space between firstName and lastName in the combined string.
